Comment | Burgess: Frustrating One to Take
at 14:14:03
Ipswich 80-81 season
Ipswich play 66 games that season.
They played in the old first division, league cup, the FA cup and UEFA cup.
They finished second in the league, reached the semi final of the FA cup and won the UEFA cup.
They played a total of 66 competitive games.
Paul Cooper, Terry Butcher, Russel Osman, Arnold Muhren, John Wark, Alan Brazil, Eric Gates and Paul Mariner played in over 58 games each, that season. Mick Mills and Frans Thijssen over 50 games each.
Russel Osman played in all 66 games !!!
So 8 out of 11 players featuring in over
88% of games.
In addition, some factors worked against the players back then.
Whilst the football was no heavier at kick off compared to todays ball, if it was damp/ wet weather , the football then became significantly heavier during the game. The state of some pitches looked like ploughed fields. It was hard going. Not the powder puff state of todays game.
Explain to me why we can not have at least 8 of our first team squad, playing most competitive games ? that includes the EFL and FA cups.
Our current team might then stand some chance of playing with the telepathic , mesmerising manner that Sir Bobbys teams did.
They played a very similar backbone to the team , week after week after week, regardless of the importance of the match.
It's not rocket science, oh and please buy an actual goal scoring forward.

Great shame.
Many of us , for numerous reasons, are not able to get to live matches.
iFollow is our only means of watching live.
Maybe Amazon or discovery + , will see a commercial opportunity ? |

Comment | Nine Changes as Blues Host Pompey in FA Cup
at 15:40:26
So embarrassing, our first team squad might make the top 6.
Second 11 are woeful. 9 changes, what's the point.
We are due a 2 week international break. So why, why , why rest most of your best players ?
Are the poor dears to worn out ? |

We need to start rolling back all the damage Keane did to our club, including most of his signings and loanees, that would still leave us with a small band of good players. Bring back the Ipswich heritage - attractive, flowing football with players that are happy on the ball + a couple of " bite your legs off" players ( not a whole team full)
Lets hope, with time, Paul J will bring back the good times. |

Comment | Town Topic: Who Should Replace Keane?

Alan Curbishley
I want to see attractive, fluent, football. Curbs. would take us to that promised land.
No more boring football and thick management. |

Sorry to say this does not seem a good loan, I dare say he will be on silly money !!!
I don't actually know the player however what is wrong with Tommy Smith and the other youths.

I would save the cash for now. Give Stead an extended run in the team, he played well when he came on against boro. Stead was also knocking the goals in last season until his 3 match suspension , then Keane did not select him after that ??? |

Hope Stead stays at Portman Road. I was at the match vs. boro. As soon as Stead came on he made a positive difference. Good positioning, running of the ball and a great goal |

well said Blue041273. Those truly were the great days. At least we have those memories - I can't see them returning until we change the direction of the club. Hey Ho. |
